Pros

If you have an English accent, you'll get promoted quickly. People recognize the name on the resume, but have no idea what you do

Cons

-2600 Layoffs announced this year -Lost 7 paid holidays last year -Tuition reimbursement was promised but doesn't actually exist, depending on department director -Constant management org changes, not exaggerating -No engines designed in Indy anymore -A dying site -Salary will drop to around 90-92% of industry average for "high performers", less for average people.

Working with great people makes such a difference day to day – it's good to hear that's been a real part of your experience. We hear you on internal progression – career growth can feel different for everyone, and we know we've still got work to do to make development paths clearer. Feedback like yours really helps us move in the right direction.

Thanks for sharing, sounds like you’ve had some great people around you – that kind of support makes a huge difference. It’s also encouraging to hear the company direction is coming through as a positive. Location is a personal factor, and we appreciate you sharing that as part of your overall experience.
